Lost my calculator icon

hello everybody, im asking for someone to help me if possible, my girlfriend, and I don't even know how she did it, deleted the calculator icon on my iPhone...
I also can't find it in mobilefinder so I guess she deleted the application..
Now i have that stupid calculator that I downloaded from installer and it sucks so I would appreciate the help if someone can tell me how or where to find that original app and put it back on my iPhone...

You might need to get the iPhone browser program (need to search on here for the download location) and it should help you locate the png file for the icon and show you where it's supposed to go.
I just looked on my phone. The icon should be located in [root]/Applications/Calculator.app . It will simply be listed as icon.png. You might end up hunting for a while for it, but the good news is that anything that is called icon.png, you can click on once and it will preview it below, so you can see what the pic is. If the file extension has changed, then iPhonebrowser has the option to convert it back to a png file.
However, if the Calculator.app folder is missing, (which would be pretty bad if you just tried restoring) then you might want to try running the virginizer program, which is supposed to restore a phone back to "just out of the box" status.

It is a permissions problem. You have to change the permissions on any xxxxx.app directory that you manually copy onto your phone. If you have Terminal on your phone you can navigate to the Calculator.app directory and once inside the directory type "chmod +x *" (without the quotes) and it will set the permissions to be able to be executed by anyone.

The program "Squid" (available through installer, not sure which source though) is supposed to be able to set permissions through check boxes as well. You just select the Calculator file and check the boxes for who can view, execute, etc. the file. Might look into that as it will not require you to move around in Terminal.

I really don't believe this, it's really starting to annoy me...I tried the squid and mobile fonder thing to change permissions,I changed on every file so i can execute write and that third thing and now when I click calculator it goes in and then out in 2 sec. before it just went in but I couldn't press any buttons.

I really think that the issue is that I have a 1.0.2. version and this calculator is probably 1.1.2. version. Am I right or is that not a problem?

I also tried the terminal and I wrote cd /Applications/Calculator.app/
and it said file not found, but when i use iPhone browser the file is in cd /Applications/Calculator.app/

so now what? I am really starting to lose all hope...no actually I am just pissed off but ok...

Can someone maybe put a 1.0.2. version of the calculator...or at least tell me where I can find one, there's gotta be somewhere

Here's a crazy question for you. Why not go ahead and update to 1.1.1 or even 1.1.2 and jailbreak and add your apps back? with the update, you get a few more features here and there, most likely fix the calculator issue, and as long as you install OkToPrep before going to 1.1.2, you can still install your 3rd party apps.
Or... (not sure if you attempted this or not) you can also try the following:
Sync the iPhone
go into Settings, General, Erase all content & Settings.
Back into settings, General, reset all settings
Restore back to 1.0.2
and at this point if it's still not working, go grab revirginizer and run that on the iPhone and then jailbreak and test.
